Hi Larry and Stefan.
I'm also seeing unattended installation broken right now, when it was
working fine just a short number of days ago. I do believe it is a
change in Cygwin 1.7.17 because the logic in setup.exe (whether it
changed or not) has to match up well enough with either the contents
of the package index files that it downloads and uses or the package
files themselves.. and I think something changed between the two and
the unattended installer (--quiet-mode) doesn't work.

As soon as I disable unattended mode (remove the --quiet-mode switch),
if I just take all the default settings in the installer GUI and click
the Next button a lot, the installation completes just fine.
Which is why I said the problem is within 'setup.exe' itself. Regardless
of whether some external input may be twiddling an internal bug, it's
still an internal bug. And given the number of new packages within the
last week, the chance for one of those to be a contributing factor is
certainly much higher than for the cygwin package itself. But we won't
know for sure what's at the heart of it until someone has a chance to
debug it.
